I used to be beautiful.
I used to be free.
I used to have a few good men
hovering all over me.

I used to drive the streets
and fit into size 5 jeans,
I drank whenever I wanted to,
I was the maker of gorgeous scenes.

I used to walk the beach,
I had friends I could touch,
I made my own money and time
and I laughed too much.

I used to get into trouble
and there was never a boring day,
drama was my middle name
and I was the star of the play.

Now I'm 40 and married
(and might I add, not very well)
I'm going to write a book
in case I don't live to tell
who I once was
before I became this "me"
of everything I loved and lost
now that I'm no longer free.

40 means that you are still very young and I believe that we are truly free only within our hearts, dear Dixie. You are in full bloom and you will live to tell and enjoy your life much more than you might now assume.

Excellent. And yes, write that book, you are good with that and your thoughts can be freely expressed.

Love,
Margherita

Have you never heard the true saying,"Life begins at forty"?

It is true; soon you will realize these can be the most fulfilling days of your life. I learned more between forty and fifty than I had ever learned befor. And even more between fifty and sixty and sixty and seventy. Life is a learning process and we seem to learn more of what is neeeded at each stage of our lives. You are Loved at what ever stage of life you are.

Dear Dixie every stage in life has something good going for it, if we can only

see what it is. Sit down my friend and count all the blessings that you enjoy,

think about them and face life anew. We are all willing you onwards to happy days to come, now its up to you. Good luck, love
